How much RAM does the Core 2 Duo P7450 support
Yes it is a laptop processor from 2009 I know
but I would be interested in how much RAM it would support.
You can google that too
It depends on which software you install
Windows 10 64Bit
Then it supports more than 4GB
8gb would be rich
Should go
The laptop here is 8GB.

Investing money for such hardware is usually not worthwhile.
So if I get Windows and Linux to dual boot and install Premiere Pro and Photoshop on both, my processor then supports 10TB RAM or whatever xD. That is absolutely wrong. The RAM support of the processor does not depend on the software
Yes, a 32-bit version only manages 4 GB
In the Core 2 generation, the memory controller was still in the northbridge of the mainboard chipset and not yet in the processor. At that time the mainboards or the chipset were responsible for the RAM, i.e. Which RAM type and which maximum storage capacity is supported. Therefore the question of how much RAM a Core 2 Duo processor supports can't be answered. In this case, you have to look for the motherboard or the computer model. On the manufacturer's website you can usually find the specifications and it should also state how much RAM your mainboard, PC or laptop supports and what type of RAM.
Your processor supports a maximum of 8GB in dual channel
Then at least say the operating system and not software xD
A Core 2 Duo processor does not support RAM. At that time, the memory controller was not yet in the processor, but in the mainboard chipset. And this determines how much and what type of memory is supported and not the processor. You have to orientate yourself on the mainboard, chipset or PC manufacturer specifications.
